Michael Brandt.
I just heard your podcast about flying objects...
I live in Winnipeg Manitoba (Canada), and recently saw flying orb of white
light right in front of me after i seen it and ran up to it, it lit up the
whole area and flew up on some power lines (like a big power plant with
electric fence) it sat there for at least a good minute before it flew up in
the air and over the town houses next to were we were!
Anyways contact me if you want to hear more... Also I'm not sure were to report
to about ufo sightings I feel this needs to be documented! Maybe I should of
contacted non-emergency I just wasn't sure but I did call 311 the operator
that helps people with situations in Manitoba, and they said nothing came up on
there computers.We have emailed Micheal asking for further information but have not received a reply.

From Cal Cooper who spoke at the recent ASSAP Conference

Hi John,I just wanted to contact you as I read
the review by Brian Russell who made some errors about my talk. He stated that I
was meant to give a talk on 'UFOs and the Paranormal' but spoke about my book
instead. I was never actually booked to speak about the latter title, but was in
fact asked to speak about 'Interpretations of Anomalous Phone-Calls from
Aliens'. Even though I re-emphasied this, the advertised title was never changed
(to my annoyance). At last year's ASSAP conference I spoke about returning to
this kind of research, my book and data collection was completed in March this
year, so this was the first time for ASSAP I'd spoken about it. The talk at the
UFO conference was to advertise an article written by C.R Foley and myself which
will appear in the next issue of Anomaly. The article is about bridging the gap
between Ufology and Psychical Research.

I just wanted to clear that up
as I think Brian may have been confused, especially by the title of the talk and
then what I spoke about. Plus I'm not sure how Brian pronounces UFOlogy, but
personally I've always heard it pronounced as 'you-fology', in and out of
academic circles.

Great blog on Haunted Skies, I'll keep following and
hope to see you at the next conference

Police car levitated off the ground in 1978 and turned upside down!

This is one of our current investigations, just raw script not yet proofed for the book.

During the summer of 2012 we
wrote to the National Retired Police Officers magazine (NARPO) asking them if
they would be prepared to publishan
article from us appealing for any of their members to contact us with regard to
any sightings of UFOsor inexplicable
phenomena they may have encountered while on duty.

In early November the Magazine
printed the letter from us following which we were contacted by a number of
officers one of whom was retired Detective Inspector from Kidlington near Oxford. (He was 19 when
he joined the Force in 1959)

We went to see him on the 16th
of November this is what he had to say.”
I was promoted to sergeant collar number ‘1977’ on the 5.1.1978. At the time of
the accident occurred I was posted to night duty and driving towards Aylesbury
on the A41at about 3am in early September 1978 in a brand new Ford Escort which
had 35miles on the speedometer.

It
was a clear dry night with excellent driving conditions, so I switched off the
car headlights. (Authors: This may sound a rather dangerous practice, but it was
common to drive occasionally blackened out, in order to spot lights in the
nearby activity that may be the result of criminal activity, not forgetting
that by doing this you could (conditions prevailing) see other vehicles
approaching) in which case you would of course immediately put the car lights
back on) I had my overcoat on with the
collar turned up; the next thing that happened was that I was aware of the being
upside down and pointing in the other direction towards Bicester.

I began to crawl out from the (open door)? or window?But was prevented from doing so by the
epaulette on the left hand side of the traffic coat catching something, in the
car, but I managed to free it and crawled out onto the road. My first feeling
was of relief; I remember thinking how wonderful the first’ suck’of water was from a rain puddle on the
tarmac, as it had started to rain accompanied by that peculiar refreshing smell
of rain on the dry road. I had an impression of the local surrounding being
very blue reminding me of an old fashioned TV Screen a royal blue colour

A
lorry pulled up in front of me the driver got out and helped me to my feet
after advising him I wasn’t seriously injured, although my back was in agony, I
then asked him where he was going he told me Bicester. I looked around at the
Police car and was shocked to see that the top of the vehicle had been squashed
down. The roof was now 15-18” above the top of the windows.There was a massive dent in the roof. I stood
there in shock wondering how the bloody hell this had happened, as I had not
struck any other vehicle or obstacle in the road. (It was now 3.10am)

I
made my way over to the nearby cottage and knocked on the door, a woman opened
the door and spoke to me, she said, words to the effect” You were quick I’ve
just phoned the Police the crash awoke me. “I explained that I was the officer
concerned. A short time later PC Michael Horne arrived and we stood pondering
on what had caused the car to flip over onto its roof with significant force.

He
checked the side of the road grass verge and nearby trees, and could find no
sign of any collision with the Police car or skid marks and was just as
perplexed as I was at to what had caused the car to end up like this.

An
Ambulance arrived and took me to John Radcliffe Hospital
at Oxford,
where I was treated for the back injury. A Police Inspector then took me
home.

I
still have no idea what it was that caused the accident, it was suggested that
the car had skidded on a patch of oil, but this wasn’t true. Strangely another
officer who attended the scene told me he had seen a mysterious blue
light in the sky over the locality of the accident as he was on the way there.
Was there a connection with what I had seen? Strangely I believe that there was
a period of time that I was unable to account for.

The Haunted Skies project is the brainchild of John Hanson and Dawn Holloway, who - for the past fifteen years - have been collecting material for a multi-volume encyclopaedia of British UFOs from 1940 to the present day.

Volume One (1940-1959), Volume Two (1960-1965), Volume Three (1966-7), and Volume Four (1968-71) are already available and the fifth volume (1972-1974) will be available soon. This blog follows their progress, and is a conduit via which material that wouldn't fit into the books can be disseminated..
